    Bios Reset ? lost Overclock ?

    Had a minor crash today while recording gameplay. When the computer restarted it said that the bios seemed to crash and that i have to reload a safe bios config too reboot. How can i check too see if my pc is still running at the overclock 4.2 and not the standard 3.4?

    either use OPEN HARDWARE MONITOR and just game and see if it goes upto your over clock or cpu-z and run prime and see if it turbo's up. Or just go into your bios and check the settings.

    Good advice from technodean,

    Run something CPU intensive e.g. windows experience index whilst you have cpu-z open:
